Male Barbarian concept art.
The Barbarian is a brutish warrior who uses close-quarters combat to crush his enemies.
The Barbarian was the first playable class to be revealed for Diablo III, and is the only character class to feature in both Diablo II and Diablo III. Indeed, in Diablo lore this is the same Barbarian from Diablo II, though now 20 years older and a veteran of battle with the Prime Evils. Whilst the Barbarian class as a whole retains some of the skills that the character had access to in Diablo II, such as Whirlwind, he has also added a variety of new skills to his repertoire.
